Time to overthrow the scoundrels.

Seems to me that we Americans have been groomed to think more about the individual good rather than the common good. That's why we have a capitalist society. Let's make money. Let's allow everyone the opportunity to get monetarily rich. No limits. No rules. Exploit, if you will. Greed is good. An everybody for himself mentality. That's why we're against socialism. Means we have to share. Spread the wealth. Take from one individual and give to another. We Americans don't like that. It's an abhorrent thought. We're told we should dislike government. Because government wants to take our money. Taxes. Albeit, for the common good. For everybody. Even for the poor. Of course, the capitalist bankers want government subsidies when their banks fail. Yes, a public bailout. So they can make big bucks again. And pay each other huge cash bonuses. While the rest of us go unemployed. Or lose our homes to foreclosure. Because the money doesn't trickle down. It stays at the top. So the bankers can prosper. At the expense of the lower and middle classes. Yes, that's the way the capitalist system works. The rich get richer. The poor get poorer. And we apathetic and sorry Americans don't do anything about it. We accept our fate. When really, we should be taking to the streets. To ignite the revolution. To overthrow the greedy capitalist scoundrels. --Jim Broede
